The Balaur are mighty, highly intelligent, and fixated on power and
domination. They threaten this fragile world of Atreia. Their aggression
eventually led the god, Aion, to create the twelve Empyrean Lords to
safeguard the planet and its people.
After a long and vicious war against the Empyrean Lords, the Balaur were
involved in the destruction of the Tower of Eternity during a meeting intended
to negotiate peace. The Tower’s destruction caused the shattering of the
world and created the Abyss, an unstable rift between the two shattered
halves of Atreia where the center of the Tower once stood.
The Balaur homeland is Balaurea. It is there that the Elyos and the
Asmodians are mounting a formidable counterattack against the dragonlike
Balaur and their allies.
